Run many tyres over the years. I mostly try new always to see advantages/disadvantages etc.
I would +1 the Bontrager Hardcases...they do a folding XL/XXL (can't remember which) version which are much lighter, but still wear very well and don't give in to punctures for 1000's of miles.
Gatorskins good up to 1000 miles and then puncture every few yards. Not tried the hardcase version yet.
Conti Grand Prix 4 season. Great tyres, expensive, but been running them for a year so far with no flats and still going strong and I commute 5 days a week 30 miles a day on these....all year, so not shabby.
Good luck in finding something that suits you.
